Vinny_93, do games w A chill gaming community for the 30+ crowd

I read the part on the website and I like the setup. I am correct in thinking this is a US based community?

Not entirely. It started in the US but we’ve been fortunate enough to have members join from all around the world!

As much as Starfield is hated, I like how they did the difficulty settings. Each type of interaction has different settings, the easier the less XP the harder the more XP earned. I like fragmented difficulty settings, not just easy, normal, hard and nightmare fuck myself have no fun.

Kingdom Hearts. The writing is equally sappy and edgy fanfic crossover slop. But there’s something so satisfying about the combat, especially after the introduction of the command deck.

FatVegan,

I remember back when streamers and big YouTubers weren’t a thing. I watched a complete play through of kingdom hearts when i was sick. No commentary nothing. I’m still not convinced that game isn’t a fever dream. Somehow i never really heard of it, just the name and i don’t know anyone who has played it.

ArmoredThirteen, do gaming w 8GB ram, now only €200!!

Just looked into the ram I got last year. From about $200 when I got it to $750 now

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

Surprisingly the ram I bough earlier this year only went up from $670 to 1000. What a bargain!

Heroes of Might and Magic III, although I don’t think the game is bad.
What’s bad is that there’s really nothing new to it and yet from time to time I sink lots of hours into a new campaign.
It’s a kind of time machine bringing me back to more innocent times…
For the same reasons I need to beat some computer opponents in Broodwar on Big Game Hunters every once in a while.

I played a bunch of HoMM 3 but I don’t think I understood how to really play the game. That game is a lot more complex than it initially seems and it’s not trivial to me when to add new heroes, explore and split your units.

zergtoshi,

What puzzles you is the core of each campaign and highly depends on the layout of it.
You gotta try and if you fail, try a different approach.

Saving the game from time to time helps avoiding catastrophic failures without having to start from the beginning.

FarmTaco,

have you played HoTA(Horn of The Abyss)? its a community made expansion + rebalance of HOMM3, I found out about it this year and I have lost soooo much time to it, new towns new maps new artifacts…

zergtoshi,

I haven’t and truth be told I wasn’t even aware of it.
Thank you for your support in wasting some more time with HOMM 🤗

Thanks for letting me know. I may pop in there just to look around. I’m 39.

A remove HUD options. I’d also like it if they put a big warning in the graphics section explaining how higher graphics can affect the game.

I see a lot of people bitching about lag, but if my shit connection and potato PC can run the game on low, I’m pretty sure the complainers need to reduce their expectations, accept that they don’t have a top of the line computer anymore and bring down their settings.

Another commented said Fully Remappable Controls, but I want to foot stomp it. On PC games, I use EDSF instead of WASD, but if some controls can’t be remapped and they overlap with EDSF then I won’t play the game.

On console, I fucking hate that Elden Ring maps “crouch/sneak” to pushing down on the movement stick. I’m furiously fighting for my fucking life against a boss that attacks every 0.7 seconds. I’m moving that stick as fast as I can, which means I’m pushing hard on it. It sucks to be trying to run away from an attack but then start crouching and sneaking away from a 40ft tall axe coming down on you.

Grimy,

I tend to clutch the remote when stressed. It’s highly frustrating when I’m in the middle of an intense gunfight and suddenly my character tries to melee. Having to push down and hold a thumb stick while doing other actions with my fingers makes my hand sore as well.

Well one of those is just for saved data while the other is for the whole game.

IrateAnteater,

Yeah. To make a fair comparison, you’d have to take the number of games in your PS/2 library and multiply it by 4.7 GB per game.

GlitchyDigiBun,
@GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.world avatar

Not necessarily. That’s the max size but tons of games were 1.5-3GB. My modded OG xbox has iso’s loaded directly on the drive. Jurrassic Park: Operation Genesis is like 600mb.

IrateAnteater,

That’s why I went with the 4.7 GB DVD as the average. Actual game disks ranged from 700 mb CDs to the 8.something GB dual later DVDs, with actual game sizes ranging anywhere in-between.

From drastic oversupply to drastic undersupply in like a year.

Goodlucksil, do games w FediCraft - Season 0

I joined and immediately noticed time seemed to flicker between night and day at random intervals. It stopped when I slept but I wonder why did it happen?

I was wondering that too. Its actually a thunder storm. The worst thing is that it also spawns a lot of skeletons :/. I feel like it is happening alot, it might be related to the biome. Thanks for checking it out though. :)

The PS2 has a hard drive slot but just didn’t come with one by default. There was an official Linux release for it and in Japan you could even use it as a DVR. I don’t think this is a fair comparison.

I’m sorry, but no it absolutely was not. If you had more than a single user those bad boys filled up relatively fast.

mcforest,

This. I hated them so much.

Quetzalcutlass,

At least they were better than the memory cards for the original PlayStation, which didn’t even hold enough data for a single player. I’m pretty sure there were some games that used most of a card by themselves.

XeroxCool, do games w What game is a guilty pleasure of yours?

Fortnite. No story to catch up on, no true goals besides winning, no long-term strategizing. I’m sure PUBG is the same/better, but my SO is entertained by the cartoonish nature of FN. It brings us excitement when I’m close to winning. With the introduction of zero build, I fair well. I used to feel more guilt for it being a “bad” game and for not giving time to the betrer story/campaign titles, bur you know what? I’m tired and my time is limited as an actual adult. I’ll take my dopamine where I can get it, thank you.

I’m replaying Ace Combat 7 right now. I can’t believe how bad the writing is. I played it in 2020 and had a grand time with probably 6 runs for the various achievements. Turns out, I remember basically nothing of the story. It’s definitely amusing to revisit the AI story aspects now that “AI” is in full swing. I guess AC5 set my standard for AC stories, but maybe that doesn’t hold up well either. Regardless, I’m in it for the fun, respectable flight physics. Just don’t ask me where I keep 144 missiles stored.

InFerNo,

My kids play fortnite and I sometimes join them. Was watching some tournament on a stream and the “meta” at a high level of this game is just completely bonkers.

XeroxCool,

I quit around 2019 because I just didn’t stand a chance anymore. I’d place 2 walls and a ramp in the time it took most top-25 players to build a small castle with a wine cellar, jacuzzi, and escalator (or so it felt). I can’t keep up with these goddamn Ritalin-riddled kids.

It always cracks me up when my go-to move (in zero build) is to just stand still when it gets to close quarters. They start jumping like a cracked out kangaroo and miss shot after shot. I only do pitch/yaw and some sideways strafe, no jumping. It lets me use my Ps1/Ps2 era PvE experience.

Is it really bad writing, or just anime tropes?

XeroxCool,

Is it? I actually just played the mission where you find out Mihaly has 20 names and thought “this must be a joke, right?”. If it’s anime tropes, I’m totally unaware. The subreddit was just full of meta memes so I didn’t learn anything useful in my reddit days

TachyonTele, do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

I just want a exit to desktop button always available. I don’t always have time to go all the way back to the title screen just to edit out.

frongt,

Alt+F4 usually works for that
